We want to solve the fractional diffusion equation \[\begin{equation} \label{eq:maineq} \partial_t u+(\kappa^2-\Delta_\Gamma)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u=f \text { on } \Gamma \times(0, T), \quad u(0)=u_0 \text { on } \Gamma, \end{equation}\] where \(u\) satisfies the Kirchhoff vertex conditions \[\begin{equation} \label{eq:Kcond} \left\{\phi\in C(\Gamma)\;\Big|\; \forall v\in V: \sum_{e\in\mathcal{E}_v}\partial_e \phi(v)=0 \right\} \end{equation}\]

If \(f=0\), then the solution is given by \[\begin{equation} \label{eq:sol_reprentation} u(s,t) = \displaystyle\sum_{j\in\mathbb{N}}e^{-\lambda^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}_jt}\left(u_0, e_j\right)_{L_2(\Gamma)}e_j(s). \end{equation}\]

# Function to build a tadpole graph and create a mesh
gets_graph_tadpole <- function(h){
  edge1 <- rbind(c(0,0),c(1,0))
  theta <- seq(from=-pi,to=pi,length.out = 10000)
  edge2 <- cbind(1+1/pi+cos(theta)/pi,sin(theta)/pi)
  edges = list(edge1, edge2)
  graph <- metric_graph$new(edges = edges)
  graph$build_mesh(h = h)
  return(graph)
}

Let \(\Gamma_T = (\mathcal{V},\mathcal{E})\) characterize the tadpole graph with \(\mathcal{V}= \{v_1,v_2\}\) and \(\mathcal{E}= \{e_1,e_2\}\) as specified in Figure \(\ref{Interval.Circle.Tadpole}\)c. The left edge \(e_1\) has length 1 and the circular edge \(e_2\) has length 2. As discussed in Subsection \(\ref{subsec:prelim}\), a point on \(e_1\) is parameterized via \(s=\left(e_1, t\right)\) for \(t \in[0,1]\) and a point on \(e_2\) via \(s=\left(e_2, t\right)\) for \(t\in[0,2]\). One can verify that \(-\Delta_\Gamma\) has eigenvalues \(0,\left\{(i \pi / 2)^2\right\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}\) and \(\left\{(i \pi / 2)^2\right\}_{2 i \in \mathbb{N}}\) with corresponding eigenfunctions \(\phi_0\), \(\left\{\phi_i\right\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}\), and \(\left\{\psi_i\right\}_{2 i \in \mathbb{N}}\) given by \(\phi_0(s)=1 / \sqrt{3}\) and \[\begin{equation*} \phi_i(s)=C_{\phi, i}\begin{cases} -2 \sin (\frac{i\pi}{2}) \cos (\frac{i \pi t}{2}), & s \in e_1, \\ \sin (i \pi t / 2), & s \in e_2, \end{cases}, \quad \psi_i(s)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{cases} (-1)^{i / 2} \cos (\frac{i \pi t}{2}), & s \in e_1, \\ \cos (\frac{i \pi t}{2}), & s \in e_2, \end{cases}, \end{equation*}\] where \(C_{\phi, i}=1\) if \(i\) is even and \(C_{\phi, i}=1 / \sqrt{3}\) otherwise. Moreover, these functions form an orthonormal basis for \(L_2(\Gamma_T)\).
